was taken out safely. The fire started
on the fifth floor in the kitchen. Tor
rents of water were poured into the

THE CHEROKEE ELECTION TROUBLES.
ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 4.-The latest adj
vices from the Indian Territory are to
the effect that most of the reports
which have recently been sent from
thoabs e0ua ahd pe9sSSsaas at p0Ti sS
lequah, on the assembling of
the Cherokee council next Monday
were grossly exaggerated. 1t is true
that few of the leaders of both poll
tical factions have left Tahlequah,
but they will return on Mon
day, and it is said by those
believed to be best posted regarding the
situation, that unless an undue amount
of whisky is drunk, there will be no
actual disturbance. Many of the
Bench party men believe that
Judge Mays was fairly elected
and they say that he
ought to be declared chief. The leas-
| ing of land to cattlemen in the CherO-
kee strip, is the principal disturbing
question in view now. If that can be
amicably arranged, there will be no
other trouble.
